Default My Vt

Bought this crx about a month ago now up in Monaghan, took a bit of a gamble on it as she was only goin on 3 cylinders but i said feck it id chance it. Bought it and drove it 80 odd mile home, talk about hardship[:0]. Hadn't been serviced in nearly 4 years and the exhaust was in about 3 bits on it.

Went to the autofactors the next day and ordered a set of leads, plugs and a full service kit for it. When it came round to changing the plugs and leads it was a nightmare, leads were gone pure brittle down in the head and were stuck solid in 2 cylinders. Ended up having to take off the rocker cover and tryin to pull them out with a pliers, got there eventually but it was a bitch of a job. Put new front discs on it and new pads all round, new front droplinks also. Bit the bullet and bought a set of AGX adjustables for it next

Picked up a set of DLAA fogs off ebay too and stuck them on it.

Didn't really like the wheels that are on it and the neg camber at the front didnt agree with the tyres so i stuck a pair of momo sports i had at the house on

The other 2 need tyres so ill leave the shitety wheels on the back for the time being.

Theres rust on the sills and drivers rear inner arch, needs a full drivers sill and about 12" of the rear end of the passengers side and a bit of patchin around the sill trim holes. Computer is acting the maggot so ill post up the pics of the rust later!

Hopefully have a new drivers sill sorted for it and a good 2nd hand pass side. Ill let ye know. Head gasket is on the way out in the engine, she buildin pressure out the header tank all the time ao i pulled a head off a b16a2 we had in the shed and sent it off to be skimmed, new exhaust valve fitted(old one broke thats why the engine was in the shed) and a full set of valve seals fitted too while its in the engine shop. Stopped into Honda on the way home and ordered a head gasket, exhaust manifold studs and front D bushes. Will update soon

Balls about the head gasket but once thats sorted it should be fairly bulletproof.

Would you go for something like black slipstreams on it instead of fat fives?
